Wiring to something not visible in the current block diagram view

[KDillon]

My entire block diagram is not visible without scrolling.  (I tried to avoid this, but it proved impossible).  When I'm attempting to wire two items together, how do I scroll?  I haven't found a way to do it.  Now I'm stuck because I'm unable to wire the things I need to connect since they're not both visible at the same time on the block diagam screen.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

1rst : avoid doing too big diagrams !!!!

2nd : disable auto tools, select the wirering tool, click on the 1rst object, and double click on a blank area : this create a broken wire. You can move your diagram, and create a new wire from the broken to an other area, and so on...

Best regards,

it happens!

ok..nothing is impossible. if you can design your code before coding, into sub modules and sub vis, it will be easier in situations like this.

for now.. i can give you a work around.. if you know the data type you want to wire to, create a copy of that control/indicator within the block diagram screen that is visible. wire from start point A to intermediate point B, then create more intermediate points like this... till you reach your end indicator.

thats silly..

or.. there is a better one. place flat sequences in your way, wire from the control to the first flat seq, through the multiple sequences or frames till you reach your indicator. if you remove one frame after the other in an order, you will be able to wire it.

Or, best use the value property node of the control, place it on the block diagram and move it to the indicator.

post your block diagram image.

While wiring, if you get your mouse at the edge of the window, it will scroll for you.  Yes, there are times that you cannot keep code to a single screen.  I'd rather the code be clean than inside a single screen.

Thanks, everyone.  I feel ridiculous now.  I DID try dragging the mouse to the edge of the screen, but I wasn't holding it there long enough.  (It doesn't scroll right away).

As for my block diagram, I really have no clue what I'm doing.  I did post it in another thread I started.  I'm hoping that things will just start making sense if I stare at it long enough.
